On Saturday, July 18, our talk will be given by Jeffrey Benca and will be entitled “Jurassic Garden: Decoding how to grow prehistoric plants”
Paleobotanist and UC graduate student Jeff Benca uses living and fossil members of ancient plant lineages to better understand the distant past. However, survivors of the 400-million year old group he studies (lycopods) have been deemed nearly impossible to grow for over a century. Learn more about these mysterious plants, and how cracking their cultivation code may have revealed a winning survival strategy.
